This code signifies an injury sustained by an individual who was in the process of getting on or off an electric bicycle when they were involved in a collision with either a pedestrian or an animal. The injury is a direct result of this specific type of impact during the boarding or alighting phase.

Apply this code when documenting an initial encounter for a patient injured while mounting or dismounting an electric bicycle, and the incident involved a collision with a person or an animal. This is appropriate for emergency department visits, initial physician consultations, or hospital admissions following such an event.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was boarding or alighting the electric bicycle, not actively riding it.
• Verify the collision was specifically with a pedestrian or an animal, not another vehicle or a fixed object.
• Remember to also code for the specific injury sustained and any other relevant external cause codes.
